Connecting to the IPSIs 4

Programming the IPSI circuit packs

Setting the switch ID

If you have only one system, the default switch ID is A. The second system would be B and so on. The switch ID is not the media gateway or carrier letter.

1While the display is flashing, press the button until the switch ID (A through J) shows on the top character of the LED display. When the correct letter shows, stop. It will flash a few times (5 seconds) then stop. The next character down begins to flash.

Setting the cabinet number

The number to program is the cabinet number not the port network number. If you have more than one IPSI in a cabinet, they all have the same cabinet number.

1While the first digit of the number is flashing, press the button until the correct tens digit (0 through 6) shows on the display. When the correct digit shows, stop. It flashes a few times then stops (five seconds). The second digit begins flashing.

2While the second digit is flashing, press the button until the correct units digit (0 through 9) shows on the display. When the correct digit shows, stop. The digit flashes a few times then stops (five seconds).

3All segments of the display goes dark for one second, and then the Switch ID and media gateway stack number is displayed in the top three characters of the LED display. A "V" is shown in the fourth character (bottom) of the display. When the DHCP server assigns an address to the IPSI, the center of the "V" is filled in to form the bottom half of a diamond in the display.

For duplicated control network, repeat these steps for the second IPSI in the cabinet.

Using static addressing

For the IPSI circuit packs to get static IP addresses, you must administer them directly through the Ethernet port connection on the IPSI faceplate (top port). See Figure 1, Connecting directly to the IPSI, on page 52.
